"Da Mei? Is that the house-elf who helped me take care of Doom?"

Lodge's words, albeit somewhat verbose. But Arthur quickly understood what he meant.

"Yes, Lord Pendragon. Monsters that even Headmaster Dumbledore and Master Grindelwald can't destroy, can be destroyed by you. You're the strongest student I've ever met. I think you're the only one who can help us house-elves."

Seeing that Arthur was not angry that his secret was known to him, Rocky hurriedly said in tears.

His pitiful appearance, as if he... No, it's the whole family of house-elves who can't survive tonight.

"Help? Are you in any trouble?"

Arthur asked, looking at the house-elf in confusion and pondering for a moment.

When Rocky asked for help, Arthur thought that they wanted to help him get rid of his slave status, but after thinking about it, the current house-elves had been brainwashed and exuded a servile aura all over their bodies, so it was impossible to make this request.

"That's right, Lord Pendragon. After you slay the monsters that night, we house-elves returned to the castle from the Forbidden Forest. After we restored the castle, the next day, we were approached by a house-elf who had lost his reputation."

"He told us that Kreacher, who was with them, suddenly went crazy and started attacking them. He came to Hogwarts to get us over and help them get Kreacher under control and bring him to his senses."

"Although they are a bunch of house-elves who have lost their reputation and dignity, they are also our kindred, so when we finished making dinner, I found them with my compatriots..."

"Kreacher has turned into the same monster as he did that night, and a few poor fellow citizens have also been contaminated. Our magic can't defeat him. So I can only keep him under control for the time being."

"But in the long run, that's not the way to go. Sooner or later, he will break through the seal and kill all my compatriots."

"So when Daimi found out that you were the one who really defeated the monsters, our clan saw hope again."

Rocky weeps as he tells Arthur what happened to their house-elves.

It was a very serious and sad thing, but when Arthur heard about the house-elves who had no master and were free. In his mouth, he was called a house-elf who had lost his reputation and dignity, and he couldn't help but feel funny.

Still, Arthur found the key information in Rocky's bloated, unfocused words.

It was Kreacher, who had escaped from the goblins, and was with a group of free house-elves.

As for the reason why he turned into an octopus monster, Arthur guessed that Kreacher should have taken Slytherin's locket with him before escaping.

This is the Horcrux stolen from the Lonely Island Cave by his young master, Regulus Brick, who sacrificed his life and used the stealing of beams for pillars without Voldemort's knowledge.

When Regulus died, he instructed Kreacher to destroy Slytherin's locket, but Voldemort's Horcruxes were so powerful that Kreacher had not found a way to destroy them for years.

But Kreacher is a house-elf who cares a lot about honor and does his duty. His lifelong dream was to be like his elders, and after his death, his head would be hung in his master's home.

Because of this, Kreacher never gave up and did not forget Regulus's last words, and was always looking for a way to destroy the Slytherin locket.

This time, he escaped from the goblins with the locket, and must have found a way to destroy the locket from the other house-elves.

Otherwise, how could this servile house-elf meet a group of free house-elves.

But Kreacher didn't know that the locket in his hand was no longer just Voldemort's Horcruxes, but already had the power of an ancient creation.

That night, Voldemort prepares to activate the power of the ancient creations in all Horcruxes and prepare to attack the entire wizarding world.

The ancient creation power in the Slytherin locket was also activated, but alas, it was nothing

It was already an item, but there was no flesh and blood, so it didn't turn into an octopus monster on the night when Harry turned into a monster.

And why did Kreacher turn into a monster after that?

Arthur speculates that it is likely that Kreacher was preparing to destroy the Horcrux, and when he completed his agreement with the little master, he accidentally let the power in the locket leak, causing him to be devoured by the power of the ancient creation and become an octopus monster.

"Don't cry. Tell me how long your seal will last."

The magic system of house-elves is different from that of wizards, and they have the ability to seal the monstrous Kreacher, and Arthur does not have any doubts.

"We now send ten of our compatriots every day to recast the spell and strengthen the seal. But the monster's power is so great. According to our calculations, in less than half a month, he will definitely break through the seal. Lord Pendragon, please help us get rid of that monster."

Rocky said this, and fell to his knees in front of Arthur. In his heart, only Arthur could help them solve this crisis.

If it weren't for the place where the monster was sealed, it was the place where the legendary house-elves were born, and it was the supreme clan land in their hearts. They can't be in such a hurry.

Moreover, Rocky, who had witnessed the terrible battle at Hogwarts that night, and other Hogwarts house-elves, knew that the monster could not even be pitted by the great Headmaster Dumbledore and the Great Demon King Grindelwald seventy years ago.

If the monsters that Kreacher turned into break through the seal, then the entire wizarding world will suffer, and then they, the house-elves who are Hogwarts property, can only wait for death.

"Is there still half a month... Should be able to catch up. Don't worry, Rocky. I'll help you, but in a week. The cost of that spell was so great that I needed a week off before I could cast it again."

Arthur learned that Kreacher, who had turned into a monster, could be sealed for at least half a month, and glanced down at the fire in the fireplace, then turned to Rocky and replied.

"Really? Lord Pendragon. We will not forget your kindness!"

Rocky heard Arthur promise to help them deal with the octopus monster in a week's time. Excitedly wiped the tears from his face and nodded desperately at Arthur in thanks.

"Alright, if nothing else, you can go back. Remember me a week later."

Arthur waved his hand and brought the food from the low stool to him. The food is already getting cold, and if it's cold, it's not tasty.

Rocky looked at Arthur, who was enjoying his meal, and without saying anything more, snapped his fingers, and left the Slytherin common room using the phantom transformation from the house-elf magic system.

"It seems that we still can't let our guard down..."

"Although these Horcruxes are not flesh and blood, they cannot allow the ancient creations inside to be revealed. But those who come into contact with them are likely to accidentally release the power inside..."
